Blog 3 - Institutional Contexts

Jennifers body was part created by the company Fox Atomic which is a production label from 20th century fox. 20th century fox is a well known production label therefore allows there films to have large budgets. Other films produced by this label are other teen and horror films.
Sorority row was part created by Summit entertainment, Summit entertainment is respnsible for releasing twilight and since then has made many succesful films, the other films they have produced have been quite dark. Summit entertainments success enables them to have large budgets for their films.

Jennifers body and Sorority row were released at similar times, both within the months of september -november, so the dark winter months near halloween. The budget for theses two films were $16,000,000. On the opening weekend in America of Jennifers body it earned $6,868,397 and Sorority row earned $5,059,802. Jennifers body has so far made $32,832,166 and Sorority row has made $27,195,919.

Due to these factors of the two films i have analysed i will have the release date around october time and think about how a large budget would impact my film and how that budget would make it a good teen horror.

  1. Excellent observation about the release date - you should incorporate that onto your film poster.
